WM WM408, WM507, WM509, WM512: Ant-Man, Falcon, Animal Man, and Robin Minifigs Review

Check out our WM set list here.


WM408 - Ant-Man
WM507 - Falcon (Silver Age)
WM509 - Animal Man
WM512 - Robin

Falcon and Ant-Man are from Marvel while Animal Man and Robin are from DC.


Let's start with Ant-Man. I think that the quality is.. okay. It's definitely not great or not XINH level, but it does the job well enough that I prefer this over most POGO figs. I've got no issue with the plastic quality, and for the print, the lack of gloss makes it look a bit less good. The torso also seems a bit off centered; I'm hoping that it's just my eyes, but then again, off centered designs are common symptoms of bootleg figs.


I gotta say that the amount of details on the sides are great though. Perhaps you could even buy these just for the arms and mix and match it with other Ant-Man figs.


For the back, there's also a good amount of detail here and it doesn't look bad at all. Though again, it's not as great as other brands like XINH.


Another thing worth noting is that Ant-Man's head mold isn't actually silver. It's just painted silver. While I have no complaints about it since it's covered pretty well, but the fact that it's just painted may cause some issues. One is, as seen in the picture above, the paint getting scratched into the neck part. Additionally, paint can be scratched off the design hence ruining the fig. So I guess this fig isn't really for play and is really just for display.


Now for Falcon, Animal Man, and Robin. No complaints with these three. These three seem to be of better quality than Ant-Man above. It's possible that WM used a different manufacturer to make these three as opposed to Ant-Man; this is common practice for WM and even Kopf since they started out as just stores rebranding figs. Now, they hire factories or manufacturers to create exclusive figs and brand them as WM###.


Slapped on side prints for Animal Man and Robin, sadly.


No alternate face for the first two, but Robin does get a cocky face which I really like and is somewhat fitting for his look.

4 simple figs that I think are done well enough, more so for the latter 3. Great to see that WM is also creating figs like this that are truly for fans as opposed to the same old Marvel/DC big 3/4 characters. Hopefully though, WM continues to caters to fans and deliver great quality and that they even improve. I can't wait to see more from this brand. As usual, I'll review anything WM as long as I can get them from AngeloMarcus Greenhills, so always stay tuned in the site.

  1. I think the Falcon is especially well-done (love the medallion!), now if only there was a hawk figure to scale for Redwing...
